Community Service
Sheridan students contribute many hours of community service to the Treasure Valley each year.
Last Saturday, we participated in "Sweep the River" with the Boise Parks and Recreation. Near Willow Lane, we collected trash on the Greenbelt and the Boise River. Students and parents made our town much cleaner! Thank you to all who volunteered your time!
NEXT: Rake Up Boise!

Sheridan Academy: Cultivating a Work Ethic
Recently, I read a survey of business owners and their attitudes about hiring recent high school graduates. Their #1 complaint?? Not that the new worker couldn't do the job, not that they couldn't train the new hire, but that the new hire WASN'T THERE.
Punctuality and attendance are cornerstones of Sheridan Academy's program. We EXPECT our students to be there EVERY day and with a professional attitude, ready to work. WE ARE ONLY IN CLASS 180 DAYS A YEAR! LESS THAN 1/2 A YEAR ARE OUR STUDENTS IN CLASS! SHOW ME A JOB WITH OVER 1/2 A YEAR OFF!
Alas, it concerns me that teens show up late, half-asleep, with no will to perform. Are these the same students we're sending to universities and into the workplace?
Our students write, "Early is on time. On time is late. Late is unacceptable." Public schools don't get $$ if the student doesn't show. We get your tuition regardless. Yet we cannot issue credits if you miss more than 9 classes a semester.
PS: Your future employer will not be givng you any paychecks if you are continuously late! Learn NOW to be on time and ready to work for every shift. You'll get the raise, the "A" grade at college, and the pride knowing that even when you felt lousy, you still did your best work.

Our 11th Year at Sheridan Academy!
We have started our 11th year! I am SO proud of all the students who have benefited from our unique academic and social programs!
Mrs. Sirani is a saint for continuing to provide quality teaching to our students as she finishes her Master's Degree.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Next Friday, 9/15 we visit Edwards Cinema to view "World Trade Center." We leave Sheridan at 1300 hours. I'm concerned as many of our students do not remember 9/11/01 and that they need to share in the courage of Americans against attacks on our love of freedom!
We are mailing letters to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan next week. (How cool to get a letter back from a soldier.)
Week of September 10: Bring tennis racquets! We'll try our hand at tennis during daily P.E.
Saturday, Sept. 16: "Sweep the River." We have participated in the yearly cleanup of our river. Meet at the tennis courts in Julia Davis Park at 9am. Bring gloves. (How sad that I must warn students not to pick up syringes.)
Our UNIFORMS are a success! Our students LOOK GREAT! Keep the shirts tucked in! Soon to the Governor's office to visit! Look sharp!
